Eleven Proven Ways to Get Along

Better With EVERYONE

Before you say anything to anyone, ask yourself 3 things:

1. Is it true?
2. Is it kind?
3. Is it necessary?

Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully

Never miss the opportunity to compliment or say something

encouraging to someone

Refuse to talk negatively about others; don't gossip and

don't listen to gossip

Have a forgiving view of people. Believe that most people

are doing the best they can

Keep an open mind; discuss, but don't argue.

(It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable.)

Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing

or saying anything that could make matters worse

Let your virtues speak for themselves

If someone criticizes you, see if there is any TRUTH to what

he is saying; if so, make changes. If there is no truth
to the criticism, ignore it and live so that no one will
believe the negative remark

Cultivate your sense of humor; laughter is the shortest

distance between two people.
Do not seek so much to be consoled, as to console; do not
seek so much to be understood, as to understand; do not
seek so much to be loved as to love

I pray that all of us will keep these points in mind and the
Biblical principles behind them so that we can continuously
improve our personal relationships with others wherever we
are
